To provide a record of the Society's Disputations for members to access and refer to, the Chronicler, Mr. Wesley Hartwell '11, creates detailed summaries known as "Chronicles" describing the orations, debate, and significant themes of each Disputation. The Chronicles for the fall semester of 2007 are signed by the Council members who presided over those sessions.

The Chronicles for academic years 2008-2009 and 2007-2008 are available for download below:
